In Revelation 3:18, the accusative singular neuter form occurs among items to be bought; the APB renders the clause, “and eye-salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see,” showing an application to the eyes with seeing as its stated purpose.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Revelation 3:18, the APB presents the item as “eye-salve” and places it in the clause about anointing the eyes. This rendering confirms the clause's overall presentation rather than isolating every feature of the Greek term.
